But I read this post today and was mesmerized, and then Lisa referenced my slow cooker technique for making applesauce and apple butter. But oh, how she tells it so much better than I. Go read about Uncle Hal and his memories growing up making apple butter.

Stories involving scent, flavor, seasons, can transport us to our childhood and familial connections. This is a wonderful story.

Thanks Lelo! I'm so glad you liked the post. Your enthusiasm for seasonal produce and your interest in the way people experience it is inspiring. I am continually amazed at the connections people can make over food. It reachs beyond borders and across the generations like nothing else.

Lelo, I'm ready to make another pan of apple crisp this weekend. I have a big bag of apples picked from a friend's tree. I'll be making the crisp that I posted on my blog @http://www.areavoices.com/sdoeden/index.cfm?blog=60500. It's been my favorite recipe ever since my son was just a little tyke. I hope you will like it, too.
